Great Teaser
Just like with anything you market, a great teaser is what gets people to pay attention to your book and hopefully consider buying it. You don’t need to stick to one teaser, either. Different teasers of various lengths can be used in different ways to successfully market a book. These can be used when sharing on social media, for the description in various marketplaces, to guest post on blogs, and more.

As an author, you’ve probably heard that the best way to reach your core audience is with an email list, and I will admit, this is a good way to keep your dedicated followers and readers up-to-date. With that being said, once you start one, you could end up being regarded as junk by the recipient, if you go about this the wrong way.

I happen to use Mail Chimp, but there are many other services out there that will allow you to create and maintain an email list for your website.
